From A Distance - Bette Midler

From a distance the world looks blue and green,
And the snow-capped mountains white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
And the eagle takes to flight.

From a distance, there is harmony,
And it echoes through the land.
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace,
It's the voice of every man.

From a distance we all have enough,
And no one is in need.
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease,
No hungry mouths to feed.

From a distance we are instruments
Marching in a common band.
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace
They're the songs of every man.

God is watching us, God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance.

From a distance you look like my friend,
Even though we are at war.
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
what all this fighting is for.

From a distance there is harmony,
And it echoes through the land.
And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves,
it's the heart of every man.

It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves.
This is the song of every man.

And God is watching us, God is watching us,
God is watching us from a distance.
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching
God is watching us from a distance.



I remember first hearing this song during my JC days. As i'm from methodist school, i would always have the chance to hear lotsa christian songs n this is one of the few songs that realli caught my attention though i'm not Christian.

Think the melody and lyrics of this song is very well written.
How wonderful the world will be if theres no guns, no bombs, no disease n no hungry mouths to feed ......everyone lives in harmony.
Hee....maybe they shld play this song in the white house =P
